Shut Up
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Living out a dream a wolverine on heat
You laughed because you thought you ought to
And I did because it was expected of me
Good looking girls in this place
Lusting after all of them at once
Now I know how a wildebeeste feels
I am here to stay
No one tears me away
So you just
Shut up
Almost felt human for a while
Bad-mouthing everybody I could think of
Maybe I was too sure about us
So sweet so witty nobody's fool
Wasn't heavy wasn't pawing you
A madman in this world
If there is a God it doesn't give a damn
Surrounded by broken dreams
I am here to stay
No one tears me away
So you just
Shut up
I know this world belongs to you
Life always kicks me when I'm down
Just wait to see what will happen
Cause otherwise it could be worse
Makes it easier to live with myself
Adventures really are hiding
Who am I trying to kid
Not smart enough to figure it out
The lyrics of Pink Turns Blue's song "Shut Up" reflect a sense of discomfort and insecurity in one's own skin. The singer feels like an outsider in a place where good looking girls are lusted after, and he feels like he is surrounded by ghosts of love. He keeps getting it wrong, living out a dream that is not his own. The moment of feeling almost human is contrasted with bad-mouthing everybody - maybe as a defense mechanism against the feeling of vulnerability. The singer is not heavy or pawing anyone, but he feels like a madman in this world where broken dreams are everywhere. He questions the existence of a God who doesn't give a damn.
The line "No one tears me away / So you just / Shut up" can be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, it could be seen as a defiant declaration of self-determination. No one will make the singer leave, so he tells others to shut up and stop judging him. On the other hand, it could also be perceived as an admission of defeat. The singer may be telling himself to shut up and stop pretending that he can handle this world that doesn't make sense to him.
Overall, "Shut Up" is a song about feeling lost, confused, and out of place. It captures the essence of teenage angst and the struggle to find one's identity in a world that seems to be stuck in a cycle of broken dreams.
